The Texas Longhorns have fired head coach David Pierce after eight seasons with the team.
After the Texas Longhorns' season ended at the hands of the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in the form of a 10-2 blowout, speculation ran rampant regarding the future of the program. To be more specific, rumors and questions began to swirl about whether or notWell, just weeks after the aforementioned loss that question has been answered. After eight seasons leading the Longhorns, Pierce's time in Austin has come to an end.
While questions persisted up until the decision was ultimately made, it at times felt like an inevitability depending on who you asked. Whether or not it was the right decision, well, that depends on who you ask. To some, it was time for Pierce to go, while others felt he had done enough to lead the team in its first season in the SEC -- an undeniably tougher conference than the Big 12.
In Pierce's eight seasons leading the Longhorns, he led them to a 297-162 overall record, including a 101-71 showing in Big 12 play. His teams made the NCAA Tournament in six of his eight seasons, not including the 2020 season that was canceled due to Covid. Three of those appearances resulted in a trip to Omaha and the College World Series, including back-to-back trips in 2021-22.
